Worried about the shippin, back in 07" plasma tvs has to stand upright at all times, otherwise damage would occur. Does this still apply currently?

Plasma TVs still need to stand upright. However, if they are laying down at any point during the shipping, you can stand the TV upright for 24 hours before powering on. That is enough time for the gases to settle correctly. If your TV was shipped to your house, I would suggest you keep it upright for 24 hour before powering on because there is no way you can know if it was kept upright the entire time.

I am not totally 100% sure; however, contact the company and ask how the TV is shipped and is there a guarantee if the item is damaged that you can get a free new replacement. Also, ask if they offer shipping insurance.

It's pushing it a little but I think it could handle it. Mine is a 50" Samsung plasma and it's a heavy TV. If you have an LED rype it would definitely be no problem. Even with a 60" plasma I think that you could put a couple of home depot type shelf boards on the shelf to spread the weight around more evenly. I've put a sound bar on the front of the shelf which puts the rear 2 legs of the TV stand right at the back corners of the shelf which made the corners flex a little. I was intending to put the home depot shelves on for mine but it just isn't necessary.

I believe that while this TV has less of a burn in sensitivity than the first plasma TV's, it still has some sensitivity to burn in from long term display of a stationary image. The manual for the TV states:"If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long period of time, it will be imprinted and become a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is "image burn" and not covered by the warranty."In my case I have seen no evidence of burn-in, but I do not play electronic games - some of which can be problematic.

I am looking at buying a used tv from amazon.com warehouse with "small cosmetic damage" to the housing of the tv and wanted to know what your experience was with what you posted here.I greatly appreciate your input!

I would say it's not worth it. I think there is a manufacturer warranty, not sure how long its for. I've had a few Samsung plasma TVs in the past and never needed a warranty.

I have a tv that doesn't work perfectly, but the stand is fine. I don't want to trash the tv yet though. I guess it depends on a fair price. Contact me.

Heck no, that is a TOTAL non issue. You can clearly see the full picture while practically standing next to it....but honestly, who even stands that far to the side watching TV anyway, to me that's a bogus specification. Trust me, this TV has an amazing picture. You would be totally throwing away your money on something more expensive. Something else to keep in mind, you can't always trust the video feeds that big box stores feed their sets. Sometimes that have worse feeds going to certain TV's because they need to meet a sales quota. ALSO, those TVs on the wall at the stores are NOT calibrated for the best viewing. I have my sharp 70" on the Dynamic mode, everything just pops more. Hope that helps. Heck no, that is a TOTAL non issue.

Yes, TV is heavy & stand is kind of wobbly. Doesn't inspire confidence. I'm just hoping for the best.

Thanks for the info - unfortunately, and go figure - our very expensive and only 3 y/o plasma tv just died. Fortunately, we bought the extended warranty but still have no tv. Hopefully this will be resolved in the very near future - keep me posted for any other deals.

I cant find where a reference but the TV has at least pixel shift anti burn in. I was told this causes the images to shift slightly, less then the eye can see, in attempts to prevent burn in. I think someone told me there was more, but again I cant seem to find references to it. From my reading, after the break in period, most newer plasmas like this take about 72 hours of a static image to really burn in. Now in a few hours, say 2-3, you might get some image retention but that usually clears itself up with nothing permanent staying.

I agree with all that responded. My stand has been great (50' TV) do know they can cause problems though. Be sure to use the proper screws, do not over tighten, you should be fine. AND I agree Sceptre customer service is fantastic! A+++ from personal experience.

I'm not a designer or engineer so I can't answer you regarding that. I wouldn't risk it, wouldn't want to potentially ruin my TV.

In an otherwise fantastic HDTV, this is the little weakness. The stand does wobble if you, well, wobble it. But once it's set up there's no reason to mess with it. It seems secure nonetheless. If you need to move it, pick it up by the set itself (two people, of course). Just my opinion.

I've had it on a stand since I got it and its been fine. It did feel like it was unsteady when I put the TV up but unless you're in an earthquake zone it's going to be fine.

Based on what I experienced, there would be no problem with the unit supporting the weight of the TV. I'm assuming that the TV is one of the newer flat screen LCD/LED TVs. I'm also assuming that the supports of the unit are mounted into the wall studs.

I got this tv back in 06, you would be hard pressed to find one much newer. If you got a warranty from a used seller I would guess that it wouldn't be much. 30 days? You'd be better off at this point seeking out an LCD model. You would spend less and get more. I love plasma, but it is a bit old.
